On Friday, a brief heated altercation ensued between UConn’s Hassan Diarra and Creighton’s Jamiya Neal just seven seconds to the end of the Big East Tournament Semifinals game between Creighton and UConn at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan,

With a monumental win over UConn in the semifinals, Creighton is one win away from its first Big East men’s basketball tournament championship in school history. The game, however, was overshadowed by an on-court scuffle just before the final buzzer after the Huskies took exception to Jamiya Neal’s last-second dunk.

Villanova parted ways with men's basketball coach Kyle Neptune on Saturday morning, according to multiple reports. The move follows Villanova's 73–56 loss to UConn in the Big East tournament quarterfinals Thursday.

In three seasons under Neptune, Nova went 54-47 with no NCAA tournament appearances. It wasn't long ago that Villanova was consistently among the top men's basketball programs in the country, making nine consecutive trips to the NCAA tournament from 2013 to 2022.
